Throw the strategies of old chess at the window. Chess Sphere isn’t your traditional chess game.

Over on Reddit, Chess Sphere, initially launched on PC and mobile devices, has been announced coming on Switch. In addition to traditional chess pieces, Chess Sphere includes five new pieces or characters. These are the matador, the jester, the delegate, the ninja, and the ghost. What’s more, you won’t be playing on a flat checkered board but, you guessed it, on the very sphere itself.
